RFK Jr. says he’s “a free market capitalism guy.” I’m “a hypercapitalism has gone off the rails and lost any semblance of moral center and has to be regulated more strictly before it kills us all” kind of gal.

Marianne, you're actually complaining about crony capitalism or cRapitalism: the unholy alliance between big business & gov't--often manifested by regulatory capture: the strong tendency for regulatory agencies to be captured by the very industries they are supposed to regulate.

How would you handle an offer to join RFKjr?

You clearly don't know the difference between Free market Capitalism and Socialism for the rich. "Kronism" aka Government regulated Capitalism...

Let's just go full commie and be done with all of this bickering about what to regulate and how much to regulate it. Full Party control of the economy is the goal, so say so. Tell people how good it will be & watch your support grow. Recruit Stephanie Kelton as your advisor.

He’s a lawyer who spent decades battling big corporations exploiting our corrupt capitalist system. You are a self help writer with some cute talking points and zero relevant experience for economic & legal reform of our system.

Why not reject capitalism? It has only ever served the wealthy owner class. Never the workers. #progressivepolitics

You are misrepresenting rfk jr. He believes in regulating industry to behave responsibly. He wants polluters to pay for their harm to the environment. When they will be held responsible for their harms, then free market capitalism will work
